Energy Performance Certificates: guide
Energy performance certificates (EPCs) explain how energy efficient a building is and how it could be improved.
Exceptions
Some types of building do not require an EPC.
Buildings which meet any of the conditions below do not require an EPC:
-
stand-alone buildings (other than dwellings) with a useful floor area of less than 50m²
-
temporary buildings with a planned use of 2 years or less
-
buildings with a low energy demand, such as non-residential agricultural buildings and workshops
-
buildings sold for the purpose of demolition
-
caravans and park homes (which are not classed as buildings)
Places of worship and historic buildings are not subject to a general exemption in Scotland, unless they fall into one of the categories listed above.
